Fixing Fences and Cleaning Up

Although the thermometer reads just 39 degrees today, that didn't stop us from continuing the work that needs to be done outside. As the snow has melted in the sunny areas, revealed underneath are the bits of trash, mittens left behind during the first cold days of December, and endless rocks and sticks.

With the soil mostly thawed, we are also able to repair fences.

The children throwing rocks from the yard on to the pond, tyring to get the rocks to break through the ice.

I came across a great blog post about living an agrarian based lifestyle. Shannon has lots of wonderful recipes and insights at her blog Nourishing Days.
